RED AND BLACK SOLDIER
All Australian
They didn't need the help of another KP player, they needed help from small, medium forwards, why would we bring in another Key forward on top of Lloyd, Lucas and our ruckman resting in the forward line? We need forward pressure you know and you cant do that with all these KP players.Winning a Reserves B & F is almost a negative for a 1st Rd Draft Pick. Bombers were desperate for a bit of help for Lucas and Lloyd in the forward line and still didn't promote Bradley till the 11th hour. Bradley is like Meesen from the Crows - average footballers who are only attracting interest cause they were drafted in th top 10.
I don't think it's a bad thing him winning the 2's B&F, Sheedy was very harsh on him and sent him back to the 2's until he perfected his kicking skills which he ended up achieving, everything else was fine except for his field kicking and once it was perfected Sheedy gave him a game at seasons end for his hard work. Also, its kind of hard to break into a side with Lloyd and Lucas in it.
How can you compare Meesen and Bradley? Bradley was played out of position for all of the years he had been at the club, and then once he was played in the right position he played sensational footy did some really good things, where as Meesen has played at the only position he knows and is just utter crap.
